Paragraph 1
Overall, it is important to note that, over athe ten-year period ,the amount of money spent on booksweregradually rose in all the countries , but Germany leads led them over the period.

Problems:
1. Inconsistent tense: there is a mix between present and past tenses.
2. Less variety of vocabularies: you may consider replacing 'rise' with increase, growth, advance, etc.
3. There is a problem about the accuracy in your description. You mentioned in paragraph 1 that " there were the rise in the amount of money spent on books in all countries...." however, in the graph, the one of Italy dropped from 1997 to 1999.

Erin there is a problem with the essay report that you developed. Although you managed to present the information in the chart. You should not have used the dollar sign in place of the actual word in your essay. That shows a lack of respect for your reader, the data, you are presenting, and indicates a sloppy attitude with regards to your work. Your writing automatically lost is credibility due to that simple as of laziness on your part. Remember, you are writing a professional report, not a Tweet nor a FB status update. So treat it with respect and type in an academic manner at all times.Now, to address the rest of your report:
